FUCKTARD SEEMS TO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF "THE DEAL"

Rep. Mark Sanford, R-S.C., said President Trump
threatened to run a primary challenger against him in 2018 if he voted against
the Republicans’ proposed replacement for Obamacare.

In an interview with the Charleston, S.C., Post and Courier, Sanford
said that Mick Mulvaney, the director of the White House Office of Management
and Budget, told him, “‘The president asked me to look you square in the eyes
and to say that he hoped that you voted ‘no’ on this bill so he could run (a
primary challenger) against you in 2018.’”

Sanford said he counts Mulvaney as a friend and that it
was clear he was delivering the message reluctantly and on Trump’s behalf,
rather than of his own volition.

The veteran congressman was surprised by the
strong-arm tactic, telling the Post and Courier, “I’ve never had anyone, over
my time in politics, put it to me as directly as that.”

Still, “I have nothing against Donald Trump,” Sanford
insisted. “There is zero personal animosity from me towards him. I try to shoot
it right down the middle, as I have always done in politics. … I want to help
him succeed, because if he succeeds, the Republican Congress, and our country
by extension, succeeds.”

A spokesperson for Sanford did not immediately respond
to a request for comment.
